Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: VOF-10-5

Part Overview

The CUI Inc. VOF-10-5 is an AC/DC open frame converter designed for ITE (commercial) applications, delivering a single 5V output at 2A with a universal input range of 85–264 VAC. With a rated output power of 10W, through hole mounting, and compliance with multiple safety and performance standards, this model is now classified as obsolete. For continued production and maintenance, it is necessary to identify substitute models with strictly matching electrical and mechanical parameters in this open frame AC/DC converter category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is determined strictly by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Input voltage range (85 ~ 264 VAC)
• Output voltage and maximum output current (5V, 2A)
• Power rating (10W)
• Number of outputs (1)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Package/case (4-DIP Module)
• Application (ITE Commercial)
• Compliance to RoHS and safety standards
• Line and load regulation values
• Efficiency
• Operating temperature range
• Approval agencies and standard numbers

Alternative parts must match all listed parameters for functional and regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution of the obsolete VOF-10-5 should utilize models with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications, adherence to input/output ratings, mounting format, regulatory approvals, and RoHS status. VOF-10B-S5 maintains identical output parameters, through hole mounting, and compliance with relevant standards and certifications. Product status and regulatory compliance criteria confirm suitability for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What electrical criteria must be matched for substituting VOF-10-5?
A1: The substitute must have the same input voltage range, output voltage, output current, power rating, and number of outputs.

Q2: Are package size and mounting type relevant in substitution?
A2: Yes, the mounting type (through hole) and package/case (4-DIP Module) must match to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Q3: Is regulatory compliance required for substitutes?
A3: The substitute must comply with listed agency approvals and standard numbers to satisfy ITE and safety requirements.

Q4: How does product status influence selection?
A4: Only active parts are suitable substitutes for obsolete components in ongoing designs or field maintenance.

Q5: Does the substitute part VOF-10B-S5 differ in any key performance parameter?
A5: VOF-10B-S5 matches all primary output and input requirements, with increased efficiency and a revised load regulation and operating temperature range.

Q6: Is RoHS compliance maintained with the substitute?
A6: Both VOF-10-5 and VOF-10B-S5 are RoHS compliant; VOF-10B-S5 is specifically listed as ROHS3 Compliant.

Q7: Are standard number and approval agency variations permissible?
A7: Substitution requires adherence to equivalent listed standards and approval agencies. The substitute includes standards aligned for ITE applications.
